As a lot of you may know, we are going to be overseas for the next couple of months.




A big portion of this trip will be dedicated to promoting and opening up the European market for ourselves, scouting for partners and models, as well as visiting my family whom i have not seen for years. It is such a rare opportunity to be able to take off for a long period of time together and this will mark our first overseas family trip.

I miss home. I miss Ukraine. Its my inspiration and my happy place. Between the best beer, richest culture, greenest forests and the most beautiful women, i sometimes wonder what i am still doing here.  The problem is however, as one of my friends put it, we grew up here, in the US. It is true, i became a self sustaining adult here and it is hard for me to imagine getting by anywhere else. But habit might not be the best strategy of future planning and therefore i keep my mind open. I would like to see what future holds and what opportunities my home can offer me.

If choosing according to the level of life and amount of opportunity, it is no brainer that US takes the prize, for now at least, but only at home i feel like i can breathe, like everything that surrounds me is a part of me. I understand the people, the good and the bad. And i do not know which is more important for me, and most importantly, whether there is a way to do both: have a successful business that is close to my heart and live in the place where my heart is at.
I hope that this trip will answer a lot of my questions.
